Swarms of locusts threaten the food security of 25 million Africans. Kenya is also experiencing its worst invasion in 70 years. To follow the progress of the insects, technologies come to the rescue.

It is the Nantes start-up that is causing a sensation: La Vitre. A simple name for advanced technology. Imagine a digital window.

Teleportation is within screen range. On-set demonstration!
